About:
I am a professional colorist and have worked with brands such as Prime Video, Adidas, Toyota, Vizio, etc. Outside client work, I run a color academy with over 6000 students. My channel mostly focuses on the taste-making (subjective) aspect of color grading. With the rise of AI, I truly believe that most of the grunt, technical (how-to) tasks will be handled by the software, and the job of a colorist will be purely driven by their art and imagination.

#resolve18 #colorgrading #davinciresolve - Jak na to + styl
I love how this is a really basic tutorial but with showing the RGB mix you also gave something into it for those people who already more intermediate💯
I love how you always introduce new approaches to grading. Thanks!
This was a fantastic tutorial. Detailed, but to the point. Thank you so much, I was scratching my head trying to figure out the color page!
Straight to the point. Bro this is great!
Awesome.. Each episode, I learn more.. Bit by bit.. You are genious bro.. BRAVO
Intermediate lvl next, please!! you nailed this one :)
Nice video, simple and hopefully works for me as well :D
As always you put us on game bro. Thanks 👍
QAZ, regarding the saturation max that you adjusted at 3:30 , why not just turn down saturation on a node? Why not pull back the saturation of reds, specifically, if those are the colors that are clipping? Im trying to understand why you make one choice over the other
Love to see you use Cinematch and filmconvert nitrate in a node tree structure together
Man, love ur vids 🔥🔥 But lately it's too small to see what's really going on. It's like it's made for ants not humans to watch 😢
😂
😂😂😂 you are watching in a phone, watch it in a TV or a Monitor man,
@@terriblehans i think i need an omni theater for that size of fonts 🤔😁😁 i mean it was fine all along but for some reason the guru juz decided "ahh fudge it.. no more human fonts" 🤭
Yep, it will be well-intentioned, but it's not for beginners. Which nodes do you use and which key combinations do you use for this, and so on. A beginner doesn't know that, does he? Other than that it's a neat tutorial. Mind the pace. If English is not your first language, then you should also have time to translate it in the meantime.
hi! your video are amazing and very helpful i was wondering if you make tutorial on iPhone footage to any cinematic tone
In and out Nodes thats a good tip thank you. Under project settings, Color Managemnt fro Color Science,Timeline color space and output color space what do you set or input there ?
Can you do a color grading analysis for either Black Panther or Wakanda Forever? I enjoyed your analysis of other movies and found them to be very helpful in understanding how a story is told through color. Thanks
Can you make a video on how to setup multi Monitor setup for editing videos ?
As a x-h2s user, i just can't grade F-log 2. Can you please make a video about it? Thanks!
@Waqas Qazi please tell how to make cinemetic colorgrading a SLOG3 Footage
You should do a video color grading for a real estate video, it would be super helpful to see how you would deal with the dynamic range!
This 👆🙏
ND for the windows 🤣
thank you bro ....
Hey man would love if you can increase the screen size.
Thanks a lot
How do you get your break-out scopes window to be that small?
Qazi i have a question, i have been converting all my s-log 3 footage using aces color transform effect because it is faster, i put it at last node and starting coloring before it.. is my method good or bad? because i see you always use color space transform. so, if you could give me some insight would be awesome!
Im really liking your content it’s definitely shedding some light on a super complex program. I was also watching your video on noise reduction and sharpness if I were to put those two together would the noise reduction come before the primaries and the sharpness before the out?
Thanks!
Thanks for the love. Watch the latest vid on nr you'll have your answer.
@@theqazman i already watched it this morning I just wanted to make sure that I understood it right 😂
So, what is the difference between going from S-Log to Davinci in the first node and then Davinci to Rec709 in the last node, to doing it directly from S-Log to Rec709?
Your opinion on Dehancer?
Hi, I took the free one hour class. At the end it redirected me to a page about webinars. No free Node Tree or projects to try?
Hi, why are we keeping the output color space to davinci wide gamut and then again at the end to rec 709 rather than 709 in the 1st CST node.
How are you editing like that? with the full screen video and controls overlayed on top
what if I shoot with HLG2 footages, should I use the same node like you? the color space transform. I already change the color management to davinci wide gamut, I have tried the setting you use, the footage was a little overexposed
Awesome video! just wondering, when working with colour transform what's the difference between putting rec 709 in the beginning on output over the way you did it with and beginning and end node?
I believe I mentioned it in this video. If not, watch one of the other ones and I for sure mention it the reason why.
Hey Qazi, greatly made and structured video as always ! I have a question : I'm on a big project but still a beginner when it comes to color grade, (although I've been watching like half of all your content haha) and I need to grade shots for a vlog from a Gopro hero 10, wich I shot in the "Protune flat" mode, wich should be like the "Gopro log profile".
The thing is, I'm not sure what I should put in my idt and odt, because when I set those up for rec.709/Gamma 2.4 as input and output, working in Davinci Wide Gamut/Davinci Intermediate in between, my image is broken when the nodes are on (red artefacts everywhere), even when my raw shots are well exposed, idk what to do I spent soooo much time looking for the problem everywhere :(
My color management is set to Davinci YRGB/HDR Davinci wide Gamut Intermediate and output rec.709/Gamma 2.4
Can someone please help my poor heart-broken soul or give me hope ?
If your project is already color managed you dont have to use cst nodes as well unless you have to do a detour to cinelog or something. You may just be doubling up on color spaces. Just crank sat on a node. In fact, you dont need specific project color management at all if you only shoot rec and print rec. Just crank saturation and go from there. Log is matching numbers, post lighting and grading is pushing those numbers.
So in short: either use project color management with bells and whistles transforms or do it with individual clips. Dont do both. When using project based color management you may identify individual clips and their respective color spaces)
In the RGB Mixer why do you take out the red to subtrack blue when there's a bleu coloumn for it? This whole part got me really confused..
how can i make it so that a node only affects the previous node? example: i am in the color tab. node 1 is film grain and node 2 is blur. i only want to blur the grain, but not the entire video.
What was the middle node for?
Can you make the output HLG 2020 for Instagram Reels HDR? Am trying to make my A7S3 videos HDR for my reels in Instagram but I don’t know the right configuration. Please make a Tutorial for it. I start using DAVINCI becouse of your video Ads and CZcams tutorials, am saving to get your full curse, Cheers.
what will be the colour management settings for these node tree
I was wondering the same thing. Qazi, could you (or anyone else who knows) please answer this question?
Sir when I export any short video with Davinci Resolve, an error comes "Unable to preview video" then I have to reexport it in premiere or VN.
why does it happen? please help
Anyone else trying to enter the editing contest Qazi is holding?
I am trying to submit an entry, but it's telling me the Discord link is invalid.
❤🔥
How can i make my davinci resolve in full screen and ,make other tools pop up on it? Just as it was on this video.
Please i'd be really glad if you can reply to my comment.
What difference between CST node "slog3 to rec709" in end of node tree and CST nodes with "slog3 to DWG" in first a node and "DWG to rec709" in last? How does this affect the outcome?
thank you
Ok so let me explain, Slog 3 and Davinci Wide Gamut are both Color Spaces. Slog 3 is the color space your camera recorded in and DWG is the color space you want to grade in. Simple reason is in DWG you get more range and flexibility when it comes to color. So the proper way to use this CST (color space transform) and DWG method would be to create a node at the beginning of your node tree and convert Slog3 to DWG and then add a node at the end of your node tree to convert it to the Color Space your media is intended to be presented. In this case rec709 . So it would be like this:
*First node
Slog 3 > Davinci Wide Gamut
*Last node
Davinci Wide Gamut > Rec709 Gamma 2.4
Then all your color grading happens between these two nodes. That would include exposure, balancing your footage, adjusting contrast and saturation which are your primaries. Reason why is because you want to grade in that DWG color space cause if you started doing your grading after the footage is converted to rec709 you would have far less range and flexibility since its not a wide of a color space like DWG.
Hopefully this makes sense:)
@RicardoZuniga Thank you. My usual workflow was - cst node at end of node tree - cst via phantom lut OR davinci cst - slog3 > rec709. I will try via dwg.
@@Evgeniy_Shaman make sure you go to the color management settings and change the Color Space to Davinci Wide Gamut before using this method! Cullen Kelly and Darryn Mostyn have really good videos on this and why is beneficial.
I've been spoilt by really good tutorials in Unreal Engine, cause like any for Resolve suck lol. Took me like 5 minutes just to figure out how the hell you go to the HDR settings cause you blocked it out.
Sooo... as an absolute beginner... How do you make a node? There are five nodes there... how do you make those? I only see one and copy/paste doesn't work.
👍
Great content but what happened to your accent Qazi???🤣
what are settings in color managment ? cuz its does not work
50 seconds into the video he explains how to use color management ( color space transform )
Color management in general settings I guess :-)
I even didn't breath while I was been watching😅
KEEP IT SIMPLE. I don't know some of these color grader use as many as 12 nodes to color grade, there creating more work than there has to be and they're making it confusing as hell. 5 node structure I can work with. You can everything you need to do and you don't need 12 nodes to do it. YES, YES, YES. I can handle this. This tutorial I understand the rest they don't really explain anything. 12 nodes yeah right. 5 nodes is what I'm going to use from now on. KEEP IT SIMPLE
i miss you just screen recording, although it's great, but for someone who doesnt know where things are its a bit confusing
I would really love your masterclass, but it’s waaaaaaaay more expensive than I can afford 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Why are we still trying to get closer to a cinematic look ? Why not say this is digital with everything - full depth of field, no vignetting, no halation and so on. Heretical idea, right?
Interesting, but too advanced for a beginner (if that is your target person).
This the typa chick to ruin your life for 6 months
Straight to the point. Bro this is great!
